Tooth Extractions

Tooth Extractions at L’Heritage Family Dental

While preserving natural teeth is always our priority, there are situations where a tooth extraction may be recommended to support your overall oral health. At L’Heritage Family Dental, we provide careful assessment, clear guidance, and professional treatment to help ensure the extraction process is as comfortable and straightforward as possible.

When a Tooth Extraction May Be Recommended

A tooth may require removal for several reasons, including:

Severe decay or damage that cannot be restored
Infection that does not respond to other treatment options
Advanced gum disease affecting tooth stability
Fractures below the gumline
Preparation for certain dental treatments or orthodontic planning
Our dentist will examine your tooth, review diagnostic imaging, and discuss whether extraction is the most appropriate option for your specific situation.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Before the extraction, we will review your medical history, explain the procedure, and discuss any instructions you will need to follow. Local anaesthesia is used to help keep the area comfortable during the appointment. Once the tooth is removed, we provide clear aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of complications. Our team will also discuss options for replacing the tooth if needed, such as implants, bridges, or partial dentures.
